Adrenergic Receptors
Adrenergic receptors analyzed, oocyte and embryonic expression defined
July 21st, 2005
Recent research from Slovakia has clarified the expression of beta adrenergic receptors in mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos. "Accumulating evidence indicates the role of endogenous catecholamines in mammalian embryogenesis. We searched public databases containing nucleotide sequences derived from mouse preimplantation cDNA libraries and found a partial sequence homology between a cDNA clone from mouse blastocysts and the mouse beta 2-adrenergic receptor sequence," wrote S. Cikos and colleagues, Slovak Academy of Science. "No significant sequence homology was found for other mouse adrenergic and dopamine receptors. Using RT-PCR, we showed...
